Which Approach Is Better?
Four criteria for analysis
– Transaction costs
– Satisfaction with outcomes & process
– Effect on the relationship
– Recurrence
“Reconciling interests tends to generate a higher level of mutual
satisfaction with outcomes than determining rights and power. If
the parties are more satisfied, their relationship benefits, and the
dispute is less likely to recur.”
